Judging by the 18 pages of results that come up when you run "poncho" through the search engine, no one needs to steal it.

Calm down honey! No need to cry over it.

I should have mentioned that I had looked through the previous "18 pages of results that come up when you run 'poncho' through the search engine," realizing that 94% of them were crocheted or knitted, and the ones that were sewed, you had to purchase patterns.

I was enquiring for anybody that had previously made the kind of poncho that i was wondering about could give me any tips.

And as common as they might be where you live, I've never seen the type that I was intending on trying to make.

There are a few ways to make a basic poncho out of fabric (as opposed to knitting or crocheting one). I'm planning on making myself one, so I've been scouring the mall, looking at how the ridiculously-expensive store-bought ones are constructed. I've roughly sketched out two of the easier variations:

and

In both cases, there's a lot you can do with adding embellishments like beaded fringe or funky fabric flowers or what-have-you... I'm planning on using the second pattern for my poncho; I'll post pics when/if I get it finished. Hope that helps!

When you looked through the pages that came up in the search, did you see one that you liked? I know most of the results probably showed you a knitted or crocheted poncho, but maybe if you could point out one that you like a lot (post a pic or the link to the page), one of us could help you figure out how to sew a similar one.

Take a look at this pattern here: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall03/PATTponcho.html. If you look at her instructions for putting it together, you'll see that it would be pretty simple to adapt her idea to a piece of fabric. All you have to do is finish/hem your edges and then sew it together, leaving a hole big enough for your head to go through. [Edited to add: this is the same idea that Trufflegirl just explained so nicely!]
